Civil Society Support Policy
Open Feed Network, Inc. | Candor: The Open Feed Network
Effective: June 10, 2026 | EIN: 42-2688100 | Wyoming C-Corp
Open Feed Network, Inc. is committed to expanding the capacity of civil society organizations to challenge terrorism and violent extremism online. The communities most vulnerable to disinformation and radicalization deserve the same safety tools that large platforms deploy — for free.
1. Truth Shield — Free Disinformation Detector
🛡 Truth Shield — Free & Open Source
Truth Shield is a free, open-source AI-powered disinformation detector built specifically for vulnerable communities. It analyzes any text, headline, or message for disinformation signals using Claude Haiku AI — providing risk level, verdict, signals found, explanation, and what to do.
Target communities: Immigrant communities receiving misinformation via WhatsApp, elderly communities susceptible to health misinformation, low-income communities targeted by predatory schemes, and communities targeted by extremist recruitment.

2. Open Source Platform
📡 Candor Platform — MIT Licensed
The complete Candor feed platform is available under the MIT License. Any civil society organization can deploy their own instance at zero licensing cost.
3. CANDOR Score Standard
📊 CANDOR Score Standard v1.0 — Open Specification
An open specification for content truthfulness scoring freely available for any platform or civil society organization to implement.
4. Counter-Extremism Collaboration
- Researchers: Academic researchers studying radicalization can request ThreatShield API access for corpus analysis. Contact [email protected]
- Counter-narrative organizations: Can apply for verified status protecting their content from false positive TVEC flags
- Survivor organizations: Explicitly protected categories in our detection systems
- Journalism: Investigative journalists covering extremism receive the same protections — documented journalism is never actioned as TVEC
